1979 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Buckeye (26 June) facial pattern more or less matching what Larry described for 8424. I therefore conclude with reasonable though not absolute certainty that 8424 spent the night in the nest. By the way, I also checked the granary here and could find no stores to speak of. Note, however, that Larry had seen birds getting acorns from here a while back. 30 June Watched the nest today from 1530-1700.
